Situs orbis Dionisij Ruffo Auieno interprete

Avienus, Rufius Festus, Dionysius, Periegetes · 1508 · Vienne : Winterburger impressit · 1 picture

Situs orbis is a 1508 Latin verse geography of the ancient world by Avienus, translated from Dionysius Periegetes, printed in Vienne by Winterburger and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The one picture is a printer's or owner's heraldic device: a shield with three upright gloved hands above a chevron, an eagle at its top, a helmet and crest above, and the motto GAUDEO on a scroll below, all in dense engraved scrollwork that suggests how a designer might build a crest or monogram frame.
